Tim's BattleTech Page

The year is 3060. War is dominated by gigantic war
machines called BattleMechs. Ten to twelve meters tall and massing ten to one hundred
metric tons, these robotic titans are armed with a scalding array of lasers, particle
cannons, autocannons, and missiles. They have enough firepower to flatten anything...
exept possibly another 'Mech. BattleMechs are nothing, however, without their pilots.
These Mechwarriors have captured the public imagination and have become the mounted
knights of the 31st century. In the current day and age, political cunning and
tactical genius are required to survive. Life is cheap, but BattleMechs aren't.

BattleTech is, arguably, my favorite wargame. Not only
does it have a fast and easy tactical rule system, it also has an intricate backplot and
an evolving storyline. This game has gone a long way from the 3025 battles I played when I
was eight.
